Conference: “Women in Business: Economic Transformation—What New Careers Lie Ahead?”

Tuesday, October 17, 2017, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Aimé Schoenig Hall, Richter Space

This event is open to professionals, individuals, and, in particular, professionals in the construction, digital technology, and healthcare sectors.
The proportion of women in the workforce is increasing, with a particularly notable rise in skilled occupations. The DARES report (April 2015) shows that the proportion of women in the workforce is expected to continue growing, despite the persistence of a significant gender divide in certain sectors.
The economic transformation resulting from the digitization of business activities is now affecting every industry. It is no longer just a matter of the “new economy” or the “digital economy.” We are witnessing a profound restructuring of the framework governing professional activities across all sectors, both traditional and technology-based.
Business leaders today are expressing a need for new occupations that require unique combinations of skills, with a relatively high proportion of service-sector roles. A report published by the Ministry of Families, Children, and Women’s Rights (Key Figures 2016) shows that significant occupational inequalities persist, despite women’s strong presence in the service sector. What career prospects are available to women in this new world of work? What professions can they hope to enter? What professional future lies ahead for them?
The second edition of the “Women in Business” Symposium invites anyone interested in exchanging ideas and offering new perspectives on this major issue in 21st-century career development to come and share their views.
Participants in these discussions will include representatives from companies, networks, and institutions where new professions open to gender diversity offer innovative approaches to women’s careers. The discussions aim to chart new paths for professional development across all of France.
